Paleo Anzac Biscuits

The humble Anzac biscuit is a long held Anzac Day tradition in Australia. These delicious biscuits were baked and sold to raise funds for the war efforts during World War I. Like all good recipes, they evolve over time and every family seems to have their own version. So when I stumbled across a version of this tasty treat, by Teresa Cutter from The Healthy Chef via Real Food Instinct, that I could actually eat I figured I'd give it a crack. It turns out, they're super easy to make and I like them better than the original. It evens looks like the real thing! Below is my adapted vegan friendly version, using maple syrup as the sweetener.

I'll be enjoying mine this Anzac Day with a hot cuppa in honour of all those who have served our great country.

Lest we forget.
